Choose Happy

Has happiness been a hard thing to come by in life? When we spend our lives searching for happiness, we are often left unsatisfied and jaded. Instead, we can choose to make choices that lead to happiness. Waiting for happiness leaves us feeling powerless, while choosing happiness comes from a place of personal power.

About this Course

When we spend our lives searching for happiness, we are often left unsatisfied and jaded. Instead, we can choose to make choices that lead to happiness. Waiting for happiness leaves us feeling powerless, while choosing happiness comes from a place of personal power.

In this series of courses, we will explore the choices that lead to happiness--through beautiful curriculum and journaling questions.

The accompanying PDF for this course contains seven topics exploring the theme of CHOOSE HAPPY:

-Remembering how far we have come and knowing that we will make it through whatever comes along in life

-Honoring our sadness so that we can make our way to happiness

-Choosing our own kind of happiness and designing our life around it

-Coming to a place of acceptance about things we can not change

-Letting others off the hook for our own happiness and remembering that no one can choose happiness for us

-Removing things from our life that are not good for us

-Choosing the words that come from our mouth, and using those words to help create happiness

About the instructor

Melody RossHi, I'm Melody! I am one of the founders here at Brave Girls Club, with my sister Kathy....and I am also one of the teachers at Brave Girl University. I write and teach all of the Soul School classes...where I have the honor to be a guide for different life journeys that we all have to take in one way or another. I love fun, I love color...and I love to go deep into the soul....so that is what I do...life-changing fun, with lots of color.

I love being part of Brave Girls Club and sitting in this big worldwide circle of sisterhood....it has changed my life in all of the best ways. I am profoundly grateful for all of it, and I work hard to never take it for granted.

I'm an artist, teacher and entrepreneur. I have started and owned a few different companies and written many books. I have sold and licensed my art all around the world, which is what I had dreamed of doing since I was a little girl. In 2004, my husband sustained a traumatic brain injury which changed the direction of our lives dramatically and led me to my TRUE life's work.

Taking care of my husband and holding my family together while my business and the rest of my life fell apart all around me left me feeling broken in every way. I used art and journaling to heal the fragmented parts of my soul, and once I felt healed I wanted nothing more than to share what I had learned and how I had healed with my sisters all over the world. That's where Brave Girls Club came from...my curriculum is what I have used to heal myself and make my life joyful again.

I live in Star, Idaho where my husband and I have raised our 5 children. My husband made a miraculous full recovery which we consider a tremendous miracle that has prompted us to spend our life helping others out of the kinds of dark times we were in for so long. Our greatest treasure in life is our family, ...especially the grandchildren who have come to us! We plan to spend the rest of our lives doing more of what we are doing now....enjoying life, helping where we can, creating beauty, and spending as much time as possible with our beloveds...at home and all over the world. We appreciate every new day we are gifted with, and life is beautiful! So happy to be here with all of you!
